About this role

<p>Lexington Medical, Inc. is hiring a Mechanical Engineering Intern in Bedford, MA for summer 2027 medical device product development. You will test designs, create drawings, support&nbsp;product&nbsp;and process improvements, and see how engineering decisions move from R&amp;D into&nbsp;manufacturing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>About Lexington Medical</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lexington Medical, Inc. is a medical device company designing and&nbsp;manufacturing surgical stapling technology at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. Our AEON™&nbsp;Endostapler&nbsp;is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive surgical stapler used in operating rooms around the world. With engineering,&nbsp;manufacturing, and quality working closely together, engineers stay close to the product and see their work move from&nbsp;anF&nbsp;idea through prototyping, testing,&nbsp;manufacturing, and&nbsp;ultimately into&nbsp;the operating room.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>About the Internship</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Lexington Medical, you will support R&amp;D engineering work across product development, testing, documentation,&nbsp;manufacturing, and supply-chain activities. You will get hands-on exposure to mechanical and process design, common&nbsp;manufacturing methods, engineering testing, inspection, and the documentation&nbsp;required&nbsp;in the medical device industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is not an internship built around observation. You will be expected to contribute to real engineering work, ask good questions, learn quickly, and take increasing ownership as the summer progresses.&nbsp;</p>

<li>Operate equipment and follow work instructions with increasing independence as you are trained. </li>

<li>Support preventative maintenance and maintain&nbsp;the safety and cleanliness of engineering equipment and&nbsp;product. </li>

<li>Complete documentation required by Lexington Medical procedures and the medical device quality system. </li>

<li>Work closely with engineers across R&amp;D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to solve practical product and process problems.&nbsp;</li>
